Ryzen 5 4500U vs Core i5-8500T comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 4500U is faster than the Core i5-8500T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8500T in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 4500U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8500T. A Ryzen 5 4500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-8500T CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 5 4500U has more L2 cache than the Core i5-8500T. Despite this, the Core i5-8500T has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 4500U.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Ryzen 5 4500U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
